Blockstack is a new internet for decentralized apps

Blockstack Token is a utility token for the Blockstack network. It enables users to access decentralized apps on the Blockstack ecosystem.

The Blockstack Token introduces incentive mechanisms, decentralized governance, and new features like support for truly independent mobile clients. The token will be launched in a new genesis block.

I think that most people would agree that a more secure Internet with identity that users control built-in from the start is a better approach.

A new internet for decentralized apps

Very ambitious project to decentralize identity and user data and to allow construction of fully decentralized applications. Applications that can't be shut down or censored, won't sell off user data, and don't lock users in. (disclaimer: investor, but I invest in anything I like in the space)
